Eyespi20 has a new look (for now) and a new web home.
As you may or may not know, I was using Holdfire as my host. However, just recently they decided to invoice me $50 for a “breach of terms of service” however would never tell me what terms of service I breached.
Since I am a good database administrator in real life, keeping backups of my data is second nature, so it was quite simple to move the nameservers to point to this host (whom I’ve been with in other guises for nearly 10 years now and with whom I have a WONDERFUL working relationship and who I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, inexpensive, responsive web hosting company).
In the process of moving, I did have to upgrade WordPress to 2.9 and that broke my other theme, so this is what we have for now.
Rest assured I will soon make it “mine” or find another I like and customize it. Just time constraints right now — well, you know what’s going on in my life right now, I’m sure….
Back to your regular programming…

Happy New Year to all my friends and family.
If your 2009 sucked, here’s wishing 2010 is a complete reversal.
If your 2009 was like a roller coaster ride, here’s wishing 2010 has more ups and fewer downs.
If your 2009 was all highs, here’s wishing 2010 is a repeat of the above.
As sent to me by a Whippet friend I pass along to all:
May your walls be filled with laughter,
may it reach from floor to rafter.
May your roof keep out the rain,
may sunshine warm each windowpane.
And may your doors be open wide
to let the Good Lord’s love inside.
Best wishes for a happy, successful and rewarding 2010!

The coder sits behind his screen
writing the prose that makes computers dance
and do his bidding cheerfully
His life is lonely; no one sees
him as a person with deep emotions
he’s a brain with no personality
Typing away in a language cryptic
his poetry translated by electronic chip set
into images and actions directed by unseen command
Although his world is of two dimensions
His mind delves deep into both future and past
To create wonderlands bound only by imagination
He’s thought out of the box for so long
That he no longer knows just what a box is
He’s into the clouds and beyond
In social settings (of which there are few)
He may be shy and awkward until he’s introduced
To others of like mind, with an IQ to match
Then he’s alive and into the fray
With syntax advice
And then the next day
He finds himself once more
In front of that screen
Typing away at the next coding dream

I am so far over my head with my current project at work that I might as well be looking for an Orange New Jersey cosmetic dentist in Timbuktu Egypt.
I know I took a couple of classes on SharePoint, but holy moley did they NOT prepare me for the reality!
MAYBE just MAYBE if it were ONLY SharePoint I would have a bit more confidence in implementing what I learned in my classes, but it’s not “just” SharePoint but MOSS AND Business Portal. After what my boss has gone through in just getting those parts to “talk” to each other politely, I’m terrified of breaking something!
I did ask him to mirror the site onto a test box so I can do stuff that won’t impact the production box, but that hasn’t happened yet. Meanwhile, my deadline approaches with all the speed of a bullet train.
Oh and that’s not to mention that the rest of my work load has increased. While it was very manageable (enabling me to have time to write in this blog fairly frequently), now I’m hard pressed to keep to an 8 hour day. That in turn impacts my time availability for doing my schoolwork. What a hamster wheel I’m on!
Well, it’s clear that I need to get some time management going here. Set priorities and time limits. It’s the only way I’m going to survive the next few months.
